THE EFFECTS OF PARENTAL DIVORCE ON
MARITAL COMMITMENT AND CONFIDENCE
It’s also possible that when going into
marriage themselves, adults whose parents divorced have less personal
relationship commitment to their own marriages and less confidence in their own
abilities to maintain a happy home with their spouse. Children from divorced
homes
suffer academically. They experience high level of behavioral problems.
Kids whose parents divorced substantially more likely to be incarcerated for
committing a crime as a juvenile. Teens from divorced homes are much more
likely to engage in illicit acts such as drugs and alcohol use as well as
sexual intercourse and most likely are bound to experience frequent illness,
lasting scars till adulthood.
A second
marriage brings complications and the new emotions for the children not to
mention new step-siblings, step-parents and step-grandparents who often are in
competition for the parents’ attention and adjustment is difficult.
Divorce is
no small thing to children. It’s the violent ripping apart of their parents, a
loss of stability and often a complete shock. While it might seem like a
solution to you, it’s not an easy way out for you and your kids. It would
really be nice if parents can at least work things through if not for
themselves then for the children. These children don’t deserve emotional
torture from school teachers and classmates and now the HOME!!! *till death do
us part* was the deal, why not stick to it and be a role model to your
children.
